Horayot 9: Transgressions & Sacrifices of Different People; Patterns

Some notes from today's daf:

  • a person who is poor and cannot afford a sheep brings a bird offering
  • a person who cannot afford a bird offering brings a meal offering
  • a king and a kohen gadol are exempt from this because they must be rich
  • a kohen gadol exceeds his brothers in every way (beauty, wealth, etc.)
  • perhaps a kohen gadol exceeds because of his brothers, ie. they give him his wealth
A new Mishna lays out transgressions and their assigned sacrifices:*


Transgression

One who is punishable by karet when transgressing intentionally

Individual
King
Anointed Kohen
Court
Female lamb/goat 
Male goat
Bull

Idolatry

Anointed H.P.

The rabbis discuss:
  • those who falsely deny their knowledge of testimony
  • those who are impure in the mikdash
  • those who eat sacrifices
  • those who violate an oath
  • the rabbis look for patterns between those who commit certain offences/ bring specific sacrifices and who is obligated/exempt from those sacrifices
  • the rabbis identify differences between the sacrifices of a king and the sacrifices of a nation
